The National Environmental Action Network (NEAN) is working to promote environmental justice.
The Virginia-based nonprofit is expanding its efforts to educate the public about the health impacts of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS, polychlorinated biphenyls, heavy metals and synthetic pesticides.
Lewis Brown, the CEO and founder of NEAN, was a featured guest on Monday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
He spoke with show host Rose Scott about some of the dangerous environmental toxins in Black and Brown communities, the pros and cons of data centers and ongoing Environmental Protection Agency changes under the Trump administration.
He further explained how NEAN is working to spread awareness by conducting environmental health research on water pollution in metro Atlanta and by assisting former federal employees and contractors who federal cuts and layoffs have impacted.
